At least, I don't know of any. If such a tool exists, it is certain to be less effective than what you can do by the use of the clone tool and a little patience. In some areas you can simply clone in the tone from both sides of the fold. Anyplace that a line or other image crosses the fold, you should clone it in by moving along the line (rather than perpendicular to the fold.) If there are patterns within the image, sometimes you can copy an element of the pattern and slip it into position in a separate layer. An example would be something like a cyclone fence or patterned wallpaper. This is the kind of challenge that makes Photoshop fun. Good luck.
